Massive increase in performance. From 25 to 60 fps
 

Just renamed the intro video at \\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI\Logo.wmv

I haven't been able to play IL2 CLOD almost since it was released but finally I am getting high FPS. I haven't tried the black death mission but in campaign and quick missions with 15 planes in the air. I get 60fps when flying over the channel and on land near the coast I get between 45-55.

Simply amazing, compared to the framerate I used to get before.



These are the hardware specs:

QuadCore 2 2.50
4GB DDR2
ATI 5770 1GB

Clod graphics settings. It's not maxed out but effects, textures and plane models are set to high.

Latest beta patch is installed.

S!

The logo.vmw is know to cause problems to AMD cards(GPU clocks not going full) and renaming it has been a way to get the game smooth.

This same bug is from launch and they not even fix that, all players doesen't read forums so well :grin:

I haven't read these forums for months!. :-)
Sorry if it has already been posted. I just thought it'd be worth sharing it.

Bugs like that is good to bump up time to time again, because it's good cure for ATI owners(5000 series i think) ATI cards stay at 2d speeds after that intro. So lame that is not fixed yet.

+1

In fact I am surprised and just realized no one ever reported it in the Bugtracker, gonna do it now. :D

That's funny. I have very similar PC config (windows 7), game graphics setting and ATI settings.
Never had that Logo.wmv on my COD folders, because I have buy the Russian digital version, and had similar FPS before the last patch.

After the patch have massive stuttening/freezes and the black with a red square screen on the game launching.

So can you confirm?

Are you on the international version of the game?

Anyone with the black with a red square screen, have the Russian versions aswell?

Developers, any word about the black with a red square screen?

Yeah, it's not even funny. It's been reported on the forum forever but still the devs have done nothing about it, should be a pretty simple fix shouldn't it? Yes, we can easily change this ourselves but what about the newcomer to the sim that haven't heard of this forum but even if they did they wouldn't know what was causing the underclocking of their graphic card. It's yet another proof that the devs knows nothing and does nothing for the game. LOL! Russian quality service at it's best.:-P

I have the English version bought at steam. That red square screen you are talking about, I have it too when launching the game but no CTD or less performance due to that.

To be honest I could never have imagined that the intro video could slow down my graphic card. So far I am really surprised because I get almost no stuttering at all and frame rates are more than playable.

I have to test it in multiplayer.

Yeah i think its true, of course no ubi logo in russian version, only at international version, maybe Luthier doesen't seen that bug talking here, of course there is no talk about it on Sukhoi forums because no that ubilogo bug at all :)

First Ubi's epilepsyfilterFiasco and then that, LOL.
